Do I have to grind an old tree stump?

• <div><p>We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-kill-tree-stump.htm">killing a tree stump</a>, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.</p><p>Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.</p></div>

Is a tree stump any danger in my yard?

• <div><p>Stumps can decay, spread rot, attract insects, and make it easier for fires to start in your yard, so when you remove a tree, you should also make plans to remove the stump. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stump-removal-cost.htm">Stump removal costs</a> an average of <b>$360</b> depending on the size and method of removal. On that note, you should avoid burning out a stump on your own—not only can it start a dangerous fire, it may also be illegal in your area.</p></div>

Can all tree roots regrow?

• <div><p>Although many tree roots will continue to grow after the tree has been cut, there are a handful of exceptions to this rule. While species like elms, ficus, and willows have roots that will regrow with a vengeance, pine, oak, and maple roots will die when they’re cut down. If you’re not sure what kind of tree roots you’re dealing with, there’s a simple way to find out. New sprouts on old trunks, stumps, or exposed roots are a sign that the root system is still hard at work. </p></div>

Can you plant a tree over a ground up stump?

• <div><p>It is possible to plant a tree over a ground stump if it was ground very deeply. However, it is typically best to plant elsewhere so your new tree has room to establish a strong, healthy root system. If you want to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-plant-tree.htm">plant a tree</a> in the same spot where you currently have a stump, you may want to consider other options, such as stump removal.</p></div>

Q: Will a tree live again after it dies?

• <div><p>If the roots are still alive, the dead tree will usually try to put out new shoots. That doesn&rsquo;t mean the tree will survive or that the dead parts of a tree will come back to life. If parts of the tree have died and turned gray or rotten, nothing will bring them back to life and they need to be safely removed.</p></div>

The crew was here early. They worked very efficiently and were well coordinated. I hired them for a day and they removed 10 plus trees from my yard (some very large) and ground the stumps and hauled off the trees and limbs. I am very pleased and will use them again.
